Downtown Disney District at the Disneyland Resort Fact Sheet

ANAHEIM, Calif. – The Downtown Disney District at the Disneyland Resort is a vibrant, one-of-a-kind Disney experience, immersing guests by day and night in an exciting mix of family-friendly dining, shopping and entertainment with a touch of Disney.

The Downtown Disney District is conveniently located in the heart of all the action, walking distance from Disneyland Park, Disney California Adventure Park and the three on-property Hotels of the Disneyland Resort.
